Nichols received the Democratic nomination

A report has been more or less widely
circulated in this vicinity to the effect
that DIR. John II. Reed had brought to
his home in Lancastes subject from a
dissectipg room in Chicago, and boiled
the flesh from the bones in kettle in
his backyard thus horrifying his neigh
bors, ETC., etc.
A friend of DR.. Reed, who is we'll
known to us. and whose word can be
relied upon, took occasion during
recent visit to Chicago to call at the
school of dental surgery, at which DIR.
Reed is a student and learn the facts in
the case, from the superintendent of
institution and the janitor of the rooms,
which facts are briefly as follows:
Dental students are required to make
as thorough dissections as medical stu
dents. The subjects used for this pur-
pose ars the paupers and unclaimed
dead from the different charitable insti-
tuition which are given by law to medi-
cal and dental colleges for dissection
and other scientific purposes. Tho
skeleton brought home by DIR. Reed
came into his possession legally, being
that of subject which had been used
in the dissecting room of the college in
which he is n student.
The jsnitor informed the gentleman
that he had himself assisted DIR. Beed
to cleanse and prepare the bones for
shipment That but little tissue adj
hered to them, when they were packed,
and that they were carefully packed in
chloride of lime. DR. Reed On his ar
rival at home again cleansed the bones,
using chloride Of lime freely. The
janitor says there could have been no
odor from the process except that of the
disinfectant itself.
The foregoing statement is made
simply to cover any wrong impression
which may have been formed from
hearing the reports of "Dame Rumor."

contry. His friends also feel proud
that We had, as Brian 0'Neil said, the
handsomest candidate for sheriff in the
convention of 1886, and feel confident
that their efforts will be crowned with
success in 1888.
The HERALD is every week very much
looked for and is welcome in every
family where it is read; but we are not
as bad off as some of our sister villages,

called the informing Leaf" which
never fails to make its appearance. As
soon as the village store opens, it APP
bears. The noon edition does not APP
pear quite as regularly; and sometimes
when gossip runs high there is an even
ing edition, which for truth and verasity
is not surpassed by any paper in the
country. The "editor" has been off for
a week attending the printers Conven-
tion," but is at his post again.
Las. Thursday the sinners of this
place and vicinity turned out into the
woods of Mr.. Math las Schlegel, who

wishes which they entertained. The
axes were swung. and teams loaded
and in the evening there were thirteen
loads of fire-wood unloaded at the resi-
dence of Rev. j. Liddle, of this place,
that would make any man smile if he
wasn't a reverand these cold winter
days.

pursuing their studies, take large doses
